Large / Live steam

Looking at the parts list I saw a couple of chassis would it be possible to convert these to live steam? ???

Well reading threw the posts I notice a lot of you don't really care for the Thomas and friends items in Large scale however did you know that you could mix the 2-4-2 LYN-southern with the Emily Coaches from Thomas and Friends Section they look great together unless you are a detail expert and expect the interior to be their but you can make interior just wanting to let you guys know.

Thomas & Friends / Lady yes again
May 29, 2014, 08:14:37 PM
Now I know this topic has and will always be in the back of my head and this time I think you may enjoy this topic after watching this Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OXEKSSevO4 I might have messed up on the link if I did just type in HO scale Lady the Golden Engine and look for a youtube name called Surgeusb here is the thing he took a percy model and a ERTL Lady model and made well lady he even shows you how he did it. of course just by looking at it it has DCC but I might be wrong. I may get dissed for this post but I don't care I found a Lady Model that works and another thing I need help I need to find a ERTL Lady model that looks like the one in the Video. If you take the time to look post the website on this post. I think you might find the model intresting.

Thomas & Friends / Thomas the tank engines face
May 02, 2014, 11:23:36 AM
I am sorry to say this but While the other engines in the Thomas and friends line are just Flawless as far as I can tell their is one engine who is not that would have to be Thomas the Tank engine. The first locomotive in the Thomas and friends line which I am disappointed in so the question is how can you fix that?
#7
Okay so I am a modeler in both fields of Large scale and HO scale and I have my Branch line that I wan't for my HO scale however while I am on a break so I can figure out my buildings, road and rail yard I am working on my Large scale which I only have one and I am repairing it. My question is can Thomas be converted to a RC with a rechargeable Battery pack. I can really only run these type of locomotives please let me know.

Does the bachmann Ez DCC system allow you to run a single DC engine with your DCC engines or is the DC slot just for A whole DC layout?

Large / Layouts
March 18, 2014, 01:20:53 AM
Sitting here wondering I was curious does anybody base their railways on the real thing or do you just do whatever with it? I am new to this and have a HO scale railroad so I have some experience and am only 15 years old so I might ask a lot of questions.

Large / Gauge
March 18, 2014, 12:56:45 AM
I have seen on Youtube that New Bright trains will work on Bachmann Track along side Bachmann Big haulers. Do you think that these are the same gauge size? If so please explain why.

HO / Bachmann DCC Chip
March 17, 2014, 05:49:29 PM
I am working on a single loop of track with three turnouts so I can extend later on I am 15 and have little experience had bought a DC train set, and a DCC Remote from a Yard sale and am getting a life like Diesel from yet another yard sale and could use some advice I was told by a BNSF Modeler that the Life Like trains can't be DCC because they are just two Basic and I own one and I do agree that it is Basic. So My question is should I buy a DCC chip for My 0-6-0 steam Locomotive and leave the Analog open or is their a way to convert my Diesel please let me know.

Large / Custom Engines
March 16, 2014, 04:13:30 PM
So I had a thought looking through the Bachmann Parts for Large scale trying to find a good pair of trucks to replace on my New Bright train and I came across a 4-6-0 Chassis with everything at least I think everything and was wondering could you build your own custom engine if you bought the Chassis and the Tender Chassis could you build a custom Engine if so I had a plan for a Back to the Future Time train. If not I would like to know if it was possible.

Large / Hi
March 16, 2014, 01:10:17 AM
I am a little knew to this and I have a question would Bachmann Freight trucks work for my New Bright Santa's Village Express. The reason why I still have this without trucks is sentimental value. I just want to upgrade it. So please would it work.
